Transport Logistic 2025: Daimler Truck with E-Offensive for Factory Logistics
Mercedes-Benz Trucks presents its strategies and solutions for the electrification of road freight transport at Transport Logistic 2025. Under the motto "Charged to electrify logistics," the new eActros 600 and the infrastructure offering Truckcharge will be presented, among other things.
The focus, according to the manufacturer's announcement, is on the practical implementation of CO2-neutral transport solutions. Mercedes-Benz Trucks demonstrates, using its own inbound logistics, how electric trucks can be integrated into supply chains.
“Over the past two years, we have gained a lot of experience with the electrification of inbound logistics to our production plants using the eActros in our own supply chains. Practice shows: We can already economically cover routes with electric trucks today. With this experience, we want to accompany our suppliers and customers on the path to more sustainable logistics solutions and support them with the right vehicle technology, while also advising on route analysis and planning as well as charging infrastructure,” says Jürgen Distl, Head of Operations Mercedes-Benz Trucks.
A central exhibit is the eActros 600, which went into series production at the end of 2024. The long-haul electric truck was awarded the "International Truck of the Year 2025" by the International Truck of the Year Organization. With a battery capacity of over 600 kilowatt hours and a range of up to 500 kilometers without recharging, the vehicle is aimed at long-distance use. The batteries are based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology and are said to offer particularly high durability.
In addition to the vehicle, Daimler Truck presents a complete offering for charging infrastructure and consulting services under the TruckCharge brand. TruckCharge is aimed at fleet operators of all brands and offers a system that ranges from energy supply to the operation of vehicles. This is intended to provide comprehensive support to companies in transitioning to e-mobility.
Electrification is not limited to the customer area. Daimler Truck is also pursuing the goal of fully electrifying the plant logistics at four production sites – Gaggenau, Kassel, Mannheim, and Wörth. A large part of the supply chains is thus to be operated locally emission-free. For the “Electrify Inbound Logistics” project, the company received the VDA Logistics Award 2025. The jury praised the approach as an outstanding innovation.
